Finding Location (Atlas)◦Latitudes and longitudes are imaginary lines which cannot be seen on the actual surface of the Earth◦Expressed as degrees of a circle measured from the centre of the Earth◦Measured in degrees(°), minutes(‘) and seconds(“)◦1° = 60’◦1’ = 60”◦Latitude is always read before longitude.
(North/South then East/West).◦Eg. Singapore is located at 1°17’N 103°51’E

Latitude (parallels) ◦Imaginary horizontal lines running in an east-west direction around the world◦Numbered from 0 to 90°N and 90°S

Longitudes (Meridians)◦ Imaginary lines that run in a north-
south direction from North Pole to South Pole
◦Numbered from 0° at Greenwich to 180°E and 180°W
◦Longitude 180°E and 180°W are the same line.
